“That one can convince one’s opponents with printed reasons, I have not believed since the year 1764. It is not for that purpose that I have taken up my pen, but rather merely to annoy them, and to give strength and courage to those on our side, and to make it known to the others that they have not convinced us.”

Is that it?

Provoked on another blog - yes, I failed to heed my Mum's warnings not to wander! - I thought I would check out how all that anthropogenic global warming is doing. Not very well, as far as I can see! Anthony Watts was kind enough to publish the latest Global Temperature Report yesterday. It is based on far and away the most neutral and unimpaired temperature readings possible in that they emanate from satellites circling the earth and they are published verbatim with no interference from interested parties like those swivel-eyed global warming fanatics. Anyway, the latest news is this:

Global climate trend since Nov. 16, 1978: +0.12 C per decade

Eh? What? Is that it, 0.12C per decade? I thought we were all going to be fried in our beds! At least, that's what that nice Mr. Obama (nearly) said. And far from reducing all that nasty, evil CO2, today the Chinese are pumping it out in volumes that make the western industrial revolution seem like a fart in comparison.

You know what else are leftie plots? Elevators, airplanes and electric lights just for starters. Stairs work fine, and if God had meant us to fly and see in the dark he would have given us wings and cat eyes.

Am I to suppose, Bob, that you place greater confidence in readings of land-based temperature recorders whose localities have changed exponentially in the last 50-100 years? And that you trust implicitly the integrity of climate 'scientists' who have yoked their reputations to AGW? Well of course you do, you are a socialist and your faith in government-controlled bureaucrats is unlimited!

Look here, Duffers old chap, The One has told Bob what to think, so that is that! Anyway, everyone knows that Trump has ordered NASA or whatever they are called, to falsify the satellite readings. Instead of preaching Islam.

"In sum, a strategy must recognise what is possible. In climate research and modelling, we should recognise that we are dealing with a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore that the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible."

IPCC Working Group I: The Scientific Basis, Third Assessment Report, Chapter 14.

So there is no scientific theory able to give us long-term predictions of future climate states. Even our knowledge of basic climate physics is uncertain and incomplete.

Shush. Do not mention Global Warming/ Climate Change/ Climate Chaos.
The British MSM are fully focussed on Brexit and all its evils.
They hope that we will quietly forget the scare-mongerers, the political explotative rogues and the subsidy grabbers who have hobbled our economy while really nothing has changed climate wise.

The problem I see is that the gaggle of warmers: Mann; Cook; Lew; Hanson etc etc are a biggest bunch of shifty eyed weasels you could hope to never buy a used car from. No offense to our esteemed host.
